We are on a journey of faith! Every day, week, month, year we are on a journey. We make an annual journey to remember the things that give us salvation from sin and eternal life with the Lord in heaven. The song of ascents was important for Israel as they made their journey to Jerusalem. These songs reflected confession of sin, praise for Almighty God, humbled hearts, Thanksgiving to God for deliverance, and dependence upon the covenant God of Israel. We need to model our lives as believers in the same way. We do not need to travel to Jerusalem as Israel does, but we can make this trek reminding ourselves who our God is and the deliverance that He gave us at the cross.
